[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] libpam: QA Issue: installed in the base_prefix, requires a shared library under exec_prefix



oe-core/meta/recipes-rt/p_w_picpaths/core-p_w_picpath-rt-sdk.bb

IMAGE_FEATURES += "dev-pkgs 等"

通过core-p_w_picpath.bbclass 可得知通过IMAGE_FEATURES特性来选择不同的PACKAGE_GROUP

p_w_picpath.bbclass 通过 feature判断选择 globs.append("*-dev") 等


禁止make -jn并行编译

PARALLEL_MAKE = ""


支持native编译包

修改包的架构名,如原来的armv7a会被成machine的名字

PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}"


使能所有架构都可用,如update-rc.d包

inherit allarch

将一些包排除在你的p_w_picpath之外


  • BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS: Use this variable to specify "recommended-only" packages that you do not want installed.

  • NO_RECOMMENDATIONS: Use this variable to prevent all "recommended-only" packages from being installed.

  • PACKAGE_EXCLUDE: Use this variable to prevent specific packages from being installed regardless of whether they are "recommended-only" or not. You need to realize that the build process could fail with an error when you prevent the installation of a package whose presence is required by an installed package.

允许针对不同的发行版修改包别名

Following is an example that shows how you specify the DISTRO_PN_ALIAS variable:

     DISTRO_PN_ALIAS_pn-PACKAGENAME = "distro1=package_name_alias1 \
                                       distro2=package_name_alias2 \
                                       distro3=package_name_alias3 \
                                       ..."
  $ bitbake world -f -c distro_check                

    高级用法
   python populate_packages_prepend () {
         lighttpd_libdir = d.expand('${libdir}')
         do_split_packages(d, lighttpd_libdir, '^mod_(.*)\.so$',
                          'lighttpd-module-%s', 'Lighttpd module for %s',
                           extra_depends='')
     }
PACKAGES_DYNAMIC = "lighttpd-module-.*"

构建包索引

$ bitbake package-index
$ bitbake  package-index

针对包的ptest

    DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " ptest"
     EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "ptest-pkgs"
  • Be sure the recipe inherits the ptest class: Include the following line in each recipe:

         inherit ptest


  • Create run-ptest: This script starts your test. Locate the script where you will refer to it using SRC_URI. Here is an example that starts a test for dbus:

         #!/bin/sh
         cd test
         make -k runtest-TESTS
依赖关系需要加上所需的 RDEPENDS_${PN}-ptest += "make"
针对编译test完成的工作
     do_compile_ptest() {
        oe_runmake buildtest-TESTS
     }
  • Ensure special configurations are set: If the package requires special configurations prior to compiling the test code, you must insert a do_configure_ptest function into the recipe.

  • Install the test suite: The ptest class automatically copies the file run-ptest to the target and then runs make install-ptest to run the tests. If this is not enough, you need to create a do_install_ptest function and make sure it gets called after the "make install-ptest" completes.



使用外部源代码

     INHERIT += "externalsrc"
     EXTERNALSRC_pn-myrecipe = "/some/path/to/your/source/tree"
     另一项指定BUILD
     EXTERNALSRC_BUILD_pn-myrecipe = "/path/to/my/source/tree"
针对发行版的init管理器设置
     DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
     VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"

You can also prevent the SysVinit distribution feature from being automatically enabled as follows:

     DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"

Doing so removes any redundant SysVinit scripts.

To remove initscripts from your p_w_picpath altogether, set this variable also:

     VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""  
     
     DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
     VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"


外部SCM

    PV = "1.2.3+git${SRCPV}

Then, you can add the following to your local.conf:

     SRCREV_pn- = "${AUTOREV}"
SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"


The Yocto Project provides a distribution named poky-bleeding, whose configuration file contains the line:

     require conf/distro/include/poky-floating-revisions.inc

This line pulls in the listed include file that contains numerous lines of exactly that form:

     SRCREV_pn-gconf-dbus ?= "${AUTOREV}"

只读文件系统

 IMAGE_FEATURES = "read-only-rootfs"

5.17.3.1. Build the Cross-GDB Package

  $ bitbake gdb-cross

5.20.1. Providing the Source Code

  INHERIT += "archiver"
     ARCHIVER_MODE[src] = "original"

5.20.2. Providing License Text

One requirement that is often overlooked is inclusion of license text. This requirement also needs to be dealt with prior to generating the final p_w_picpath. Some licenses require the license text to accompany the binary. You can achieve this by adding the following to your local.conf file:

     COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"
     COPY_LIC_DIRS = "1"


添加调试输出信息

do_my_function() {
    bbdebug 2 "Running do_my_function"
    }
  python do_listtasks() {
         bb.debug(2, "Starting to figure out the task list")

   }

构建历史记录信息

   INHERIT += "buildhistory"
     BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT = "1"
     
     只针对p_w_picpath构建信息有兴趣
INHERIT += "buildhistory"
     BUILDHISTORY_COMMIT = "0"
     BUILDHISTORY_FEATURES = "p_w_picpath"


  • PKGD - The destination directory for packages before they are split.

  • PKGDATA_DIR - A shared, global-state directory that holds data generated during the packaging process.

  • PKGDESTWORK - A temporary work area used by the do_package task.

  • PKGDEST - The parent directory for packages after they have been split.


  • IMAGE_INSTALL: Lists out the base set of packages to install from the Package Feeds area.

  • PACKAGE_EXCLUDE: Specifies packages that should not be installed.

  • IMAGE_FEATURES: Specifies features to include in the p_w_picpath. Most of these features map to additional packages for installation.

  • PACKAGE_CLASSES: Specifies the package backend to use and consequently helps determine where to locate packages within the Package Feeds area.

  • IMAGE_LINGUAS: Determines the language(s) for which additional language support packages are installed.

  • DEPLOY_DIR: Points to the deploy directory.

  • SDKMACHINE: Specifies the architecture of the machine on which the cross-development tools are run to create packages for the target hardware.

  • SDKIMAGE_FEATURES: Lists the features to include in the "target" part of the SDK.

  • TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK: Lists packages that make up the host part of the SDK (i.e. the part that runs on the SDKMACHINE). When you use bitbake -c populate_sdk to create the SDK, a set of default packages apply. This variable allows you to add more packages.

  • TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK: Lists packages that make up the target part of the SDK (i.e. the part built for the target hardware).

  • SDKPATH: Defines the default SDK installation path offered by the installation script.

4.3.3. Shared State

    DEPLOYDIR = "${WORKDIR}/deploy-${PN}"
     SSTATETASKS += "do_deploy"
     do_deploy[sstate-name] = "deploy"
     do_deploy[sstate-inputdirs] = "${DEPLOYDIR}"
     do_deploy[sstate-outputdirs] = "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}"

     python do_deploy_setscene () {
         sstate_setscene(d)
     }
     addtask do_deploy_setscene
     do_deploy[dirs] = "${DEPLOYDIR} ${B}"

4.3.4.2. Invalidating Shared State

5.1.3. Linux Kernel Naming

The naming scheme for kernel output binaries has been changed to now include PE as part of the filename:

     KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PE}-${PV}-${PR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}"
  • BP

  • The base recipe name and version but without any special recipe name suffix (i.e. -nativelib64-, and so forth). BP is comprised of the following:

         ${BPN}-${PV}
  • BPN

  • The bare name of the recipe. This variable is a version of the PN variable but removes common suffixes such as "-native" and "-cross" as well as removes common prefixes such as multilib's "lib64-" and "lib32-". The exact list of suffixes removed is specified by theSPECIAL_PKGSUFFIX variable. The exact list of prefixes removed is specified by the MLPREFIX variable. Prefixes are removed formultilib and nativesdk cases.

  • EXTRA_OECMAKE

  • Additional cmake options.

  • EXTRA_OECONF

  • Additional configure script options.

  • EXTRA_OEMAKE

  • Additional GNU make options.

  • EXTRA_OESCONS

  • When a recipe inherits the scons class, this variable specifies additional configuration options you want to pass to the sconscommand line.

  • EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_POST

  • Configuration variables or options you want to pass to qmake. Use this variable when the arguments need to be after the .pro file list on the command line.

    This variable is used with recipes that inherit the qmake_base class or other classes that inherit qmake_base.

  • EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE

  • Configuration variables or options you want to pass to qmake. Use this variable when the arguments need to be before the .pro file list on the command line.

    This variable is used with recipes that inherit the qmake_base class or other classes that inherit qmake_base.

  • EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS

  • When a recipe inherits the extrausers class, this variable provides p_w_picpath level user and group operations. This is a more global method of providing user and group configuration as compared to using the useradd class, which ties user and group configurations to a specific recipe.

    The set list of commands you can configure using the EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS is shown in the extrausers class. These commands map to the normal Unix commands of the same names:

         # EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\
         # useradd -p '' tester; \
         # groupadd developers; \
         # userdel nobody; \
         # groupdel -g video; \
         # groupmod -g 1020 developers; \
         # usermod -s /bin/sh tester; \
         # "
如果widget添加了,自动添加p1, p2
FEATURE_PACKAGES_widget = "package1 package2"

In this example, if "widget" were added to IMAGE_FEATURES, "package1" and "package2" would be included in the p_w_picpath.

在.bbappend里最常用的

  FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
  • FILESOVERRIDES

  • A subset of OVERRIDES used by the OpenEmbedded build system for creating FILESPATH. You can find more information on how overrides are handled in the BitBake Manual that is located at bitbake/doc/manual in the Source Directory.

    By default, the FILESOVERRIDES variable is defined as:

         FILESOVERRIDES = "${TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH}:${MACHINEOVERRIDES}:${DISTROOVERRIDES}"

构建p_w_picpath的处理命令

 IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "; ... "

IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE

  • INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP

  • If set to "1", causes the build to not strip binaries in resulting packages.

在local.conf中添加

  PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_ipk package_tar"


  • MACHINEOVERRIDES

  • Lists overrides specific to the current machine. By default, this list includes the value of MACHINE. You can extend the list to apply variable overrides for classes of machines. For example, all QEMU emulated machines (e.g. qemuarm, qemux86, and so forth) include a common file named meta/conf/machine/include/qemu.inc that prepends MACHINEOVERRIDES with the following variable override:

        MACHINEOVERRIDES =. "qemuall:"
自动加载模块
     module_autoload_ = "modname1 modname2 modname3"


PACKAGECONFIG 重要,在参考手册尾部有详细说明


指定打补丁工具

    PATCHTOOL = "patch"
     PATCHTOOL = "quilt"
     PATCHTOOL = "git"

  • PE  ----   The epoch of the recipe. By default, this variable is unset. The variable is used to make upgrades possible when the versioning scheme changes in some backwards incompatible way.


  • PRINC

  • The PRINC variable has been deprecated and triggers a warning if detected during a build. For PR increments on changes, use the PR service instead. You can find out more about this service in the "Working With a PR Service" section in the Yocto Project Development Manual.


  • ROOT_HOME

  • Defines the root home directory. By default, this directory is set as follows in the BitBake configuration file:

         ROOT_HOME ??= "/home/root"
  • ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND

  • Added by classes to run post processing commands once the OpenEmbedded build system has created the root filesystem. You can specify shell commands separated by semicolons:

         ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "; ... "



  • SYSTEMD_SERVICE

  • For recipes that inherit the systemd class, this variable specifies the systemd service name for a package.

    When you specify this file in your recipe, use a package name override to indicate the package to which the value applies. Here is an example from the connman recipe:

         SYSTEMD_SERVICE_${PN} = "connman.service"
